Throughout the ages, many women have used journaling to solve problems, gain insight, and encourage self-discovery. One need not be a writer or creative person to derive the benefits that can only be found though the practice of journaling.  

The disciplined practice of journaling has personally changed my life and those of countless other women. The key to successful journaling is the understanding of how and what to journal about in order to create a written record that becomes one of your closest friends.

 

This four week course will walk you step-by-step through practical journaling techniques that allow you to gain insight, learn about yourself, reduce stress, solve problems and overcome obstacles. Each week includes examples and journal prompts that you can put into practice immediately.

 

Week One: The Practice of Journaling

During the first week, we will explore how women of both past and present have used journaling as the primary key to self-discovery. You'll learn the "guidelines" that allow your journaling to be a rich source of information and an enjoyable practice. This week you will try five different journaling techniques to "get your feet wet."

 

Week Two: Journaling for Self-Discovery

This week we will focus on how the journal can be used as a path to self-discovery.  Using journal prompts you will explore aspects of your life, balance, desires and needs.

 

Week Three: Journaling to Solve Problems

In week three you'll learn how journaling can be practically applied to solve problems. You'll be encouraged to choose one challenge or problem to work with throughout the week.  Three different journaling techniques will be applied to this problem to help uncover the solution.

 

Week Four: Journaling to Understand

During week four, you will learn how to use your past journal entries to understand the challenges facing you now and the paths available to you.
